- **Event Name**: Lyrical Masterpieces | violinist Doretta Balkizas and pianist Brieley Cutting
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 am
- **Event Description**: Presented in association with Musica Viva Australia, Lyrical Masterpieces showcases violinist Doretta Balkizas and pianist Brieley Cutting in a stunning program of French and German classics. Escape into a world of glowing sound and radiant melodies.

This intimate recital brings together some of the most expressive works ever written for violin and piano. The afternoon begins with Debussy’s shimmering Sonata in G minor, a late masterpiece filled with colour and light. From there, we encounter the gentle lyricism of Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne, a glimpse of the extraordinary promise of a composer whose life was cut tragically short.

The program continues with Messiaen’s Thème et Variations, unfolding in radiant intensity, alongside Margaret Sutherland’s Nocturne, a work of quiet strength from one of Australia’s most important early modernists. To close, Brahms’ Sonata No.1 in G major offers soaring lyricism and deep romantic expression — music Clara Schumann once described as so moving she wished it could accompany her “from here to the next world.”

Together, these works create a journey of light, intimacy, and profound beauty — an afternoon of music to be savoured.
